LEONARD. I shall leave his house at once ... as soon as I have shaved.

NICHOLAS. You still want to? (LEONARD looks at him in surprise) Oh, well, you’ve hardly been here long enough, I suppose.

LEONARD. What do you mean? Don’t you want to any more?

NICHOLAS. Latimer’s quite right, you know. One learns a lot down here.

LEONARD (shaving). What about the lady?

NICHOLAS. That’s the devil of it.

LEONARD. My dear fellow, as a man of honour, you’re bound to go on.

NICHOLAS. As a man of honour, ought I ever to have started?

LEONARD (little knowing). Naturally I can’t give an opinion on that.

NICHOLAS. No.... You want to be careful with that glass. The light isn’t too good. I should go over it all again.
